Fuseki

    Keywords: Opening, Go term

The fuseki 布石 is the opening of the game (the term is Japanese).
More accurately it means the initial disposition of stones.
The Japanese term for the beginning phase, joban, isn't commonly used in English.

A general, basic introduction to the opening starts at About the Opening.

Some fuseki patterns are more common than others, and have received names. Most named openings derive their name from the pattern adopted by Black. The following pages list an overview of fuseki patterns, all fuseki pages at SL and more thoughts about fuseki.

Japanese: 布石 fuseki
